Sigma
Japan has announced a new wide angle zoom lens, the 12 - 24 mm F4.5-5.6
EX DG HSM. This lens is clearly aimed at providing a good wide angle range
for digital SLR's as well as ultra wide angle for film SLR's. On the Sigma
SD9 (1.7x crop) this lens would provide the same field of view as a 20-41
mm lens, on the Canon EOS-10D/300D this would be approx. 19-38 mm. This
new lens will be available in Sigma, Canon, Nikon, Pentax (non-HSM) and
Minolta (non-HSM) mounts and has an estimated Japanese list price of 99,000
YEN ($901 at todays exchange rate).
